Cry Gord For England and St George !

The new European plan splits England into three zones that are joined with areas in other countries. The "Manche" region covers part of southern England and northern France while the Atlantic region includes western parts of England, Portugal, Spain and Wales. The North Sea region includes eastern England, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and parts of Germany. A copy of the map, which makes no reference to England or Britain, has even renamed the English Channel the "Channel Sea".

Its not a contradiction in the system, this is what the political class always do, create two seemingly opposing policies or ideas so that clear resistance can't be build up to either then when people have had their 5mins of outrage they quietly just do what they want regardless.
